The Independent Advisory Review Board has presented a completed report on the attack upon a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday, Politico reports:

The Independent Advisory Review Board completed its report and presented it to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton this morning, department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.

“She now has it,” Nuland said during her daily press briefing.

The report is divided into a classified and unclassified section, according to Nuland. Nuland said that reporters and the public would probably get access to unclassified portions of the report sometime this week.

According to the State Department, the report will be released to leaders on Capitol Hill this week. Review board chairs Thomas Pickering and Adm. Mike Mullen will brief House and Senate leaders about the report in a closed-door Wednesday meeting.
